As a full time linux user. I have bought a m2 macbook air and i must say. For Desktops i prefer linux but for a laptop i am never buying something else than a macbook.
problem is they cost double of a decent windows laptop and you can also just install whatever you want on a windows laptop I bought an HP pavilion 15 with a Ryzen 5500U because it looks like a MacBook and it was 699$ a year ago. All good so far. Super easy to open up an upgrade or repair too just replaced the thermal paste and I might drop in a faster 1tb ssd in place of the oem 500gb ssd
@@alouisschafer7212 i got your point, but for me the price is fair, because it runs on battery for more than 15 hours and the design is so good in comparison to other laptops.
Hey man! Genuine question. I am huge fan of the Macbook hardware, not so much of the software. If you install a Linux distro (whether as a replacement or dualboot), would you say it fully takes advantage of things like the screen quality and the battery life?
@@MaxJM711 not really sure, because of the arm m2 chip i did not install linux on it. If i need explicit linux for a task i have a vm and that works fantastic.
I also forgot to mention anything but Ubuntu because Ubuntu sucks Ubuntu is better then Ubuntu that’s how bad it is

I used to think the same but with M1 and M2 processors, battery life catch me on. And i can easily use linux on MacOS thanks to parallels and other solutions.
@@drakewright940 Nah, not yet at least. Asahi linux is (as far as I know) the only disro that can run on M1 but it's missing a few key features and it's still in alpha. As far as VM's go watch this great video by Kalos Likes Computers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uRwnwkdSX-I.html
In my opinion, macOS stands out as my preferred operating system over Windows and Linux. Its sleek design, intuitive user interface, and seamless integration with other Apple devices make it a top choice for me. Additionally, the robust security features and reliable performance contribute to my preference for macOS. While Windows and Linux have their merits, macOS aligns more closely with my personal workflow and preferences, offering a smooth and efficient computing experience.
tbh I would daily drive macOS if I could install it on my own hardware in a legit way, and if it had better game support (Linux now has much better game support with Valve's Proton, which lets you play Windows games on Linux)
@@thechumbinator3070it’s pretty durable and the battery lasts for a long time. You could also check out the 2020 m1 air, super light and packs a good energy efficient cpu.
@@lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo Yes, it is free and smooth like mac and very suitable for work and does not contain bad lags and applications running in the background that make the system slow
@@ammarmouhamed6068 I was replace free by open source Open source is free and windows 11 is also free but you can't see code of windows 11.but you can see code of Linux kernel
asahi linux: *fancy black man in a suit* context: a guy reverse engineered the m1 drivers to make it work on native m1 macs with linux great distro but i dont have a mac book and never will
@@lekevire yes, ultimately you are right. Oraclebox is making some pretty good strides, also I pass a usb hum into a VMware vm which can cover a lot of my issues, but yeah. Not ideal
@@gavinff what a true gigachad. A man who put the time, effort and patience into installing endeavorOS. A man so committed to his computer that he used a GRAPHICAL INSTALLATION! Unbelievable right?
macOS is a Linux GUI which considers ".app" folders apps. Windows, Linux, and macOS can be run on 1 partition each on a triple partition SATA/USB drive.
macOS is based on UNIX and I believe Linux is based on Minux, which was the open sourced version of UNIX when AT&T owned it and made it proprietary (not open source)
sorry just saw this, I would go with a Thinkpad T420. if you look hard enough on eBay or any 3rd party selling site you can pick one up for as low as $20 from what I am seeing right now
I would use Ubuntu on any business grade PC but my main computer is an old-style tower as it is more versatile than laptops or small form factor computers.
